MAZZO Mobile Launches PowerDrive P1 and PowerDrive Slim

Pocket-sized devices are world’s first mega USB storage and battery combo certified for iOS by Apple

Guangzhou, China, November 12, 2014 — Today, MAZZO Mobile announced the launch of the PowerDrive line of products, including the PowerDrive P1 and PowerDrive Slim, the world’s first combination mega USB storage drives and battery backups certified MFi (“Made for iPhone/iPad/iPod”) by Apple. As a result of the company’s successful Kickstarter campaign, PowerDrive P1 devices are now available for order, with the Slim available for pre-order soon, and will be arriving in the U.S. market in time for the 2014 holiday season.

As the dependency on personal devices increases, a low battery and lack of space to store photos and apps become more common problems. PowerDrive eliminates those issues by combining a powerful back-up battery that offers up to 40 hours of additional charge with a mega USB storage drive that provides up to 128 GB of storage, all in one package that fits into your pocket.

PowerDrive P1 – The workhorse of the MAZZO Mobile family, the P1 offers up to 40 hours of back-up battery capacity and up to 128 GB of additional storage. It’s perfect for people traveling who don’t have the time to plug into a wall outlet or who want access to all of their files without having to connect to the cloud or lug around a bulky laptop.

PowerDrive Slim – Sporting a sleeker design, the PowerDrive Slim offers enough power to fully recharge your iPhone 6 with the same storage capabilities (up to 128 GB) as the P1. It’s ideal for business professionals, students and parents who don’t want to worry about running out of space or power while on-the-go.

“Our team loves creating for the iOS platform,” said Hunter Huifeng Gu, MAZZO Mobile founder and CEO. “We’ve been designing apps for it ever since Apple released the original iPhone software development kit (SDK). In our work, we saw a way to improve the experience for Apple customers by providing a device that extends their battery and storage without the need for a clunky external hard drive or dozens of extra cables.”

With PowerDrive, you can save your photos and videos to the device while you’re out and about and also access files from the device through your iPhone, iPad or iPod. PowerDrive is an easy-to-use solution that works with the 30-pin or Lightning cable that comes with the iPod Touch, iPad or iPhone. Simply download the PowerDrive app from the iTunes store, plug in the device and it automatically starts working. 

PowerDrive models come in 16 GB, 32 GB, 64 GB or 128 GB capacities, with retail prices beginning at $79. You can purchase the PowerDrive P1 beginning today on MAZZO Mobile’s website and preorders will be available soon for the PowerDrive Slim (PowerDrive Slim devices will begin shipping in early December). Technical specifications and additional details on the devices are available here.

MAZZO Mobile is the hardware arm of iOS app development firm InfoThinker. An Apple MFi-certified developer since 2009, the company provides a wide range of IT services, from app development to hardware and software integrated product and smart device fulfillment.
